Actress Demi Moore (62) expressed 'tremendous disappointment' at failing to win the Best Actress award at the 2025 Academy Awards, Page Six reported exclusively on the 3rd (local time).

Demi Moore had aimed for the Best Actress award for her role in the film 'Substance' at the 97th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on the afternoon of the 2nd (local time). Prior to this, Demi Moore lifted a major film award trophy for the first time in her 45-year acting career when she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress. Therefore, her winning at this Academy Awards appeared likely.

However, the honor of the award went to 25-year-old star Mikey Madison from the film 'Anora.' A close associate of Demi Moore noted regarding this, "(Demi's) heart cannot help but be hurt."

Moreover, "After winning the Golden Globe, Demi truly hoped and wished to secure this (Academy) award," it was mentioned, adding, "Demi takes this defeat very seriously. It felt like the opportunity to finally win an Academy Award had come."

Demi Moore is certainly very happy for Mikey Madison and all the other women nominated for this award, but it was a tremendous disappointment that her name was not called.

However, according to insiders, many people approached Demi Moore at the after-party to express their love and support for her work.

Meanwhile, Demi Moore and Mikey Madison competed for the Best Actress award alongside Fernanda Torres from 'I'm Still Here,' Carla Sofia Gascon from 'Emilia Perez,' and Cynthia Erivo, the actress from 'Wicked.'
